You cannot be serious.

There is no rason for you not to be investing a minimum of $1000 stakes with Price Boost every day. It's good while it lasts. Really good. $100-$200 guaranteed money per day good. It took three weeks before they removed the feature from my account.

How do you use it? It's for racing right?

Yes...

How come you guys don't know about this?

Because you haven't told me yet?

Back a horse, use price boost, lay on Betfair for less than you backed = profit.
UK racing is the best as there is way more money matched than Australian races. Go for longer priced horses e.g. $9-$10 so your losing stake is more likely with the bookie thus not giving them a reason to ban you from price boosts.

I don't recommend backing anything between $1.70 - $10.

If you back something under $1.70 (the shorter, the better), the Price Boost feature is your friend.

Activate price boost and $1.06 becomes $1.18, $1.22 becomes $1.40, etc. I was putting $2000 on favourites at $1.35 boosted and laying $2400 on Betfair for about $1.24. They are the aveage sort of figures you will come across.

If you want to back something at longer odds, then the Bet Boost feature is your friend. It's much better to have a free $20 added to your $100 stake on something paying $21 rather than Price Boost turning a $21 shot into a $24. I have done the math, and if you're using Bet Boost on something paying around $20, you're potential profit will be about 25% higher on Neds than if you use Price Boost.

Best thing is if your horse crosses the line first, Neds pay out straight away. If there is a protest that is upheld, Betfair will also pay you for a win. In the above example, that would equal about a $3000 profit.

I remember being annoyed at always having to change it back to price boost rather than bet boost because it was harder to figure out/use a lay calculator for but when I did very quickly do the math I was pretty sure it ended up equating to the same? (I was using much smaller stakes and only did it a couple of times so I may be wrong)

Price boost was a generic term I used, sorry for the confusion, a number of bookmakers offer some sort of racing fixed odds increase feature. I go for the longer priced horses thinking that as long as they keep losing they won’t restrict me. Always a chance that one gets up though.... so does hitting that boosted long odds horse once every so often make them more inclined to ban you rather than hitting a boosted odds on favourite more regularly?

It would have nothing to do whether you win or lose. You could lose 20/20 using Price Boost and you will still get banned.

They don't take in to consideration how much you're winning, but rather how much you're using their promos.

Do you find the price boost feature doesn't rise the price of short price favourites by that much? For example, on Tabtouch at Menangle this evening, there is a 1.34 favourite in race 5 which only boosts to 1.38. Who do you use your price boosts with mainly? Race 6 at Menangle boosts from 1.50 to 1.65 so that's pretty good. I use them quite a bit but find it hard to get value unless it is long priced underdogs, and then you need a lot of money in your betfair account.

I use Neds for Price Boost.

I am not sure about Tab Touch.

when do they release the lines for the NBA and NFL player props for a given fixture?

Usually the morning of the game, I’ve found mostly around 7-8am est

Draw was over $6? Seems high in general. Overreaction to day-night tests?

I'm actually on the draw at $4.55 taken last night. Think the first 2 innings is going to take 3 days with this ball & pitch. Thought the draw would be under $4 after day 1.

I can’t tell you if that is high/low/average but there was always rain forecast for day 1 and a possibility for day 2 but was never anything major. What I have noticed in the couple of rain affected tests I have followed recently, is the market over reacts to a small rain delay and then seems to correct its self as soon as the players walk back out.
